100% Wolf

[Al B. Sure!]

It was supposed to be one of those feel-good segments on a local television newscast: A rescued dog. A grateful owner. The hero firefighter who pulled the dog from the ice. But that's not how it turned out.

The dog, an Argentine mastiff named Gladiator Maximus, attacked Kyle Dyer, anchorwoman at NBC's KUSA Denver affiliate, during a live, in-studio segment on Wednesday that was meant to celebrate the dog's rescue from an icy lake the day before.

Dyer was shown petting the mastiff during the segment, then kneeling on the floor to get closer, when the 85-pound pooch bit her in the face. Paramedics and animal control were called to the studio. Dyer was rushed to a Denver hospital where she had reconstructive surgery overnight. The 3-year-old dog was taken to a Denver animal shelter where it is being "quarantined."

Exactly.

Sounds like about 33% wolf to me.

I was not aware that Kyle is also a girl's name.

[Aeson]

Maybe that confusion over the name is what angered the puppy...

Max and his owner spent about 45 minutes in the newsroom before they went on the air, and many members of the staff greeted them and petted Max. He seemed perfectly normal. During the interview Kyle petted him, and talked to the two guest. At the very end of the segment, Max snapped at Kyle for whatever reason

Whatever reason? Whatever reason?

Maybe because it's a freaking unpredictable animal!

Yeah... a cute little puppy

Just look at the comments. The usual trash I expect will be posted here:

this was completely her fault , u can't go up close to an animal that doesn't know you and put ur face near his face of course he will fell threatened it does not help the fact he is surrounded by noises he is not used to bad move on her part

He was just scared and whatever that "buzz" was in the background seemed to be what made him react. I hope she doesn't need any surgery and realizes he didn't mean it.

Yeah keep blaming everyone but the animal

If humans were more predictable, by now you would have figured out how to manage a date.

She was obviously going for his jugular. Look... she had gotten a hold with her hand, bringing her vicious jaws down towards the exposed neck. Clearly this was self-defense.

I blame this incident on absence of Claws. If people were allowed to carry concealed Claws, such tragedies could be avoided.

My guess is all the cameras, lights, strange sounds, and unfamiliar people scared the dog.

If only she had a metal face mask like Destro this could have all been avoided.

THAT WAS A MASK???

It was in G.I. Joe the movie. [/netflicks]
